After I lost my limbs I found it difficult to play with anything, esp legos. But I can still build things with them. I have to use my mouth. I also love Lincoln Logs.

S'right. I play with Legos, and I'm proud of it. Legos are the single greatest entertainment product known to man!

Every chance I get.

But because I can't have nice things I don't own any. But when I get the chance I play with them.

What else are nephews for?

Played with Legos as a kid, back when all you got were two different sizes of rectangular bricks! Now it seems like they build themselves; no creativity needed or recommended.
Now my kids are into the Mega Blocks. Just finished putting together one of their Dragon series. Pretty cool stuff.

I'm 19 years old, and I still play with legos...and action figures. Laugh if you want, but there's a kid in me that'll never die.

Just be careful not to choke to death on any GI Joes as then that kid in you could die. ;)

I love legos. They are a great way to excercise your creativity and escape the drudgery of life. Plus they make me feel like a little kid again. :D :) ;) :D

Any true Lego fan would know that the plural of Lego is Lego.

You don't have Legos. You have Lego.

Lego c'est un nouveau jouet chaque jour.

Yes, of course I still play with Lego. They're the best. Although they are getting less and less creative and more 'here are a bunch of pieces that only fit together in one way that looks good.'

Amusingly, my lego aren't even the most childish toys I own *tries to hide huge My Little Pony collection, and Polly Pocket collection and... etc*

Lego? Well, I've been known to tinker with them now and then... (http://www.geocities.com/supersaiyangokux/lego/voltronindex.html)

I used to but the newest sets are just dumbing down worse and worse. So many complaints from parents saying how complicated it is to line up the blocks right.

I mean come on. Half the parts in a lego set now could easily be made with small basic pieces. Most of the fun in Legos in building and now they build at least half of it for you.

You don't have Legos. You have Lego.



Lego is an abbreviation, "Lek godt", "play good". That's why the plural should be Gole, that is, the above expands "You have Godt lek" ie. "You have a fun time playing".

or maybe lego is italian and the plural would therefore be 'legi' :p

Lego is perhaps the best toy a child could ever have IMO.

Most of my friends who I know is studying Engineering used to be avid lego players. A Passion to build. :)

Lost my legos, but still have a can of Tinker Toys.

Erector Sets were cool for that too.

I still have a Lego Pirate Ship (I think it was called the Darkshark...), and the smaller Governer's ship too. They won't leave this house, for sentimental reasons mostly. Other than that, the only Lego that remains in our house is the stuff rom the late 60s/early 70s that my mother kept from her childhood...

I used to have tons of the stuff, though. Pirate bases, space ships, a red and black robot thing on wheels, town stuff, loads of the Technic stuff...

The US military has its own lego compatible brand so you can build military vehicles and crew them with guys with M-16s. Not sure if they have it in civilian parts of the States, I haven't been over lately.

I love to take baseplates and basic bricks and make Lego spaceships. I still do that every now and then. (It's when I drop one that I am screwed)

I love to play with lego. A few months ago i made a F-15 Eagle out of mine. I hate the new lego stuff. I prefer basic lego, but they are extremely hard to find in my area.

I am a Lego Master. Unfortanutly, my Lego metropolis was struck by a "Meteor" AKA a baseball, thus ending my small plastic underling's chance to evolve into pure energy.

I love lego!! I sometimes combine them with mega blocks to expand the horizon of my masterpieces, although sadly they are mostly destroyed. I think about buying the medieval and pirate sets to create battlegrounds...

I still play with legos, even the new sets can be good, all you have to do is take them apart and make something else, in my case, starships, and spacebases.

Lego is quite possibly the coolest thing ever. I'm 23, and I have almost all of the Oriental Adventures series (Can you say "Indiana Jones Lego"?), the huge Pirate Ship (For the record, it's the Black Seas Barracuda), the Governor's Ship, the El Dorado Fortress, The Pirate Base... and all sorts of other neat stuff, including the Hogwart's Express (Hey, I wanted a Steam Train for my Explorers to travel on), and heaps of Town Lego... I love the stuff! :D
